You can never add to much lighting. The more light will equal more growth, that simple. For average growth, run your light 8-12hrs a day. For those who want intense growth, run your lights 16-20hrs a day, 18hrs being the best. If your plants bloom, when the first signs of budding,blooming or fruiting occurs switch your lights to 12hrs on & 12 hrs off. Adding bloom nutrients will also enhance your flowering & fruiting. Go ahead and spend the money on the right lighting system. This is the most important part of growing!!! Metal Halide (MH) lights are for GROWING and plants that will not flower. High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lights are for BLOOMING and plants that will flower. Ideal lighting for BLOOMING PLANTS would be using Metal Halide for the growth phase and High Pressure Sodium during the blooming phase. Switchable Ballast will allow you to run both MH & HPS bulbs on one ballast. They cost about $15 more to buy, but this will save you money over the cost of conversion bulbs. Hope this helps you with your lighting purchase. If you have any questions please feel free to call us Toll Free 1-877-544-9376
